Weekly Pursuit – Week 2 of May
Verses:
2 Cor. 4:16 “Therefore we do not lose heart; but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.”
Excerpts:
Every morning we should allow the Lord Jesus, our Sun, to rise up in us so that we can be renewed. In order to achieve this, all of you should rise up early in the morning. But to rise up early, one must go to bed early. Every morning when the sun rises up, it is time for us to rise up to fellowship with the Lord. We should pray to the Lord, “Thank You, Lord, for a new beginning. May this day be a memorable day in my life.” On the one hand, we have such a fresh consecration and waiting before the Lord; on the other hand, we receive from Him fresh bestowals and enlightenings. With all this freshness, we will naturally have a revival. This is what Paul described as the renewing day by day. This renewal happens early every morning.
This touch with the Lord should preferably be for half an hour. At the very least, it should be for fifteen minutes. every morning we should offer up Christ as our burnt offering based upon His being our sin offering so that we may have a new beginning. Not only must we do this every day; we must also do it with sweetness and depth. The fifteen minutes in the morning is not mainly for prayer or supplication; rather, it is for a direct touch with the Lord by which we speak to Him and He speaks to us. For this reason, the best way is to spend this time on a few verses so that we may be filled by the Lord through pray-reading His Word in an enjoyable way. In this way we will have a new beginning and a fresh revival. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 4, “A Timely Trumpeting and the Present Need,” pp. 39-40)
